There is no energy source that can power the lifestyle we live in the US for more than maybe 50-100 more years. The resources do not exist to allow "the world" in the broad sense to live the lifestyle we live in the US/western Europe. We will simply deplete the resources we now have and our lifestyle will fall into line with that of the rest of the world. With the rest of the world increasing resource consumption, the 50-100 years for us is probably optomisitc.
